SUBJECT: SUBMISSION OF AN OPEN LETTER TO PMO, INDIA
Respected Sir,
As a representative to the Government, we would like to represent the poultry farmer of India through your good-self to the PMO and the Government of India.
Trump wants to kill Indian Poultry Sector for America Chicken Industry
.Government has no right to destroy self-made Poultry industry creating Rs.100,000 crore turnover and about 2 crore jobs in rural India, to please US President Mr. Trump?
Government of India has not given any support to poultry farmers:
no subsidy,
no insurance ,
no infrastructure support,
no marketing support,
no extension services,
no health care facilities,
no feed subsidy,
No technologies to reduce feed cost,
no electricity subsidy,
no poultry housing subsidy
…virtually nothing.
Poultry farmers on their own created the industry worth Rs. 100,000 Crores and created jobs for 2 crore people in rural India.
In place supporting poultry sector, Modi government is planning to open the poultry sector to subsidised products of American at low duty rate.
Why Modi government is planning to kill livelihood of 2 crore people to please one person from USA for political gains.
Small Indian Poultry Farmers Demand from Prime Minister Modi:
- Give us level playing field
- The same duty should be for the feed materials from the world market so that we can compete with imported subsidised products
- If government cannot ensure fair market for farmers, it has no reason to destroy the same
- With poultry maize and oilseed farmers will also suffer as poultry is largest consumer for agricultural produce of India.
- About 100 billion US Dollar rural economy and about 4 crores rural jobs will be destroyed if India reduces duties on poultry products from the USA.
- If you want to help America farmers allow raw material like soya and maize at lower duty, not finished goods like poultry.
Modi ji, Indian farmers voted for you to support and protect Indian farmers and help double their income. American farmers are not your voters. Why you are coming under pressure to support American farmers those who are getting heavy subsidies from US government.
Poultry Farmers want “Level Playing field”.
This is our right.
If you can’t help Indian Poultry farmers, then don’t kill Indian Poultry farmers.
